TLT Litigation

on the Asbestos portion of the lawsuit finding mostly in favor of TLT.
Mrs. Webb arrived at 6:10 p.m.
The settlement amount does not include interest.
Mr. Doneski said that since the last time we met the TLT vs. the Town of Sutton has been settled
he suggested that we reach out to Western Surety to settle explaining that we have reached out to
TLT to no avail.
The Committee agreed to have Mr. Doneski contact Western Surety.
Mr. Robinson asked if there was any recourse against previous Counsel, architect and project
manager.
